It was a perfectly good home, was that old one. Jimmy was satisfied with it. But If Mrs. Jimmy had made up her mind to leave It, that was all there was to It.

Suppose you step aside so that I may look in and see what our new home looks like.” "It Isn't our home—at least It Isn't just now. It Is my new home," said Mrs Jimmy. "D-dd-do you m m-mmean that I am not to live here?" stuttered Jimmy in shocked surprise. "Not at present, anyway.” declared Mrs. Jimmy. "This Is my home and you are to keep out of it and away from It. I don't want you around. The old home will do nicely for you if you feel that you must have a home.

It wasn't the first time he had found that his room was dpslred more than his company. But the whole thing was «o unexpected that he didn't stop to think.
